Sumario: Man, throughout its history, has been perfected methods for water uses and regulations governing them. Early use of water was for agriculture and therefore the first regulations were relating to irrigation. The origin of water regulation is very old; in Genesis Anraphel, king of Shinar, a contemporary of Abraham is quoted, and probably is Hammurabi, the sixth king of the 1st Dynasty of Babylon in 2000 BC, who enacted the so-called Code Hammurabi, which has some influence in the hydric legislation in Latin America. In the case of Peru before the Spanish conquest was already a culture in water management andfurther development of water regulations is not so different than in the other countries of the sub-continent. In this paper the results of an analysis of the historical development of the rules governing the use of water resources is presented, separating the colonial and republican periods. Current regulations governing the use and management of water in Peru is the Water Resources Act No. 29338 and the institutional framework for the implementation of this law is the National Water Authority.
